<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3365581, member: 19463&quot;]&quot;CLEMENTIA TEMP&quot; is the common reverse found on a coin I consider special and worth adding to any collection based on technical matters.&nbsp; Tacitus experimented with an issue of antoniniani that contained twice as much silver in the alloy.&nbsp; Instead of the one part silver to 20 parts base metal marked XXI, these were one part silver to ten parts base and marked XI.&nbsp; These still were in need of silver wash to make them look like silver coins so some you see will look like copper.&nbsp; They are not terribly common but I have two which I can justify since they have different officina numbers and the one with better silver is not as clear struck as the other.[ATTACH=full]892592[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]892593[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>What I do not have and certainly want is a 10:1 coin from a mit that used KA instead of XXI.&nbsp; These read IA which is simply Greek for XI.&nbsp; I believe Valentinian has one of these.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
